MAX SCI-IOEN, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

TOY GUN.

Application filed November 11, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that i, Max Sononn, a citizen the United States, residing at San Fran- OlSCO, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Toy Gun, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in toy guns and an object of the invention is to provide a simple toy gun for children that can be used indoors without danger of breaking windows or injury to eyes.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple trigger that can be made strong, and have few wearing parts.

@ther objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

fin embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be modifications thereof.

Figure l is a side elevation of the gun, and

Fig. 2 a section showing the actuating mechanism.

The numeral 1 indicates a representation of a gun stock, and 2 the barrel. 3 is a projector with a hinge at l. 5 is an indentation for holding a ball or marble 6. A spring 7 acts to force the projector up to the position shown. by the dotted lines 8. A hook 9 is riveted to the projector 3 by rivets 10.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 20, 1920.

Serial No. 337,225.

The upper end of the trigger has a hook 15 which engages the hook when the projector 3 is down.

A pin 16 keeps the trigger in position so that this hook 9 will snap under the hook 15 and hold the projector down. When the rigger is pulled, the projector is released and throws the projectile up in the air.

It will be noted that with this gun, considerable force can be used to throw a ball up in the air without danger, and as the gun can be aimed without danger of hitting anything, it will furnish the amusement for which it is designed.

What I claim is as follows, but various modifications may be made in the construction shown in the drawings and above particularly described form, within the purview of my invention.

A toy gun comprising a gun stock and barrel, a throwing member hinged to the gun barrel and adapted to move upwardly when released, the throwing member resting in recess in the gun barrel to bring it flush therewith when the spring is set, a spring for operating the throwing member, a trigger, a spring for supporting said trigger, a pin for holding the trigger in a given position whenever the trigger has been released and a hook on the throwing member for engaging the trigger to hold the throwing member down when a projectile is to be placed thereon.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of October, A. D. 1919.

MAX SOHOEN.
